There are several advantages and challenges which come from pursuing research with a Master\u2019s Degree, but, ultimately, it has been a rewarding path for both personal scientific growth and societal change. This presentation reflects my journey into biotechnology industry and discovering a rich intellectual space to flourish in. Companies such as my employer, Neurona Therapeutics, serve as a role model in providing this nurturing environment for all degree levels while simultaneously making a direct impact on human health. I will share insights into the composition of a biotechnology start-up including funding, division of intellectual labor, position hierarchy, and collaboration opportunities. Lastly, there are numerous mentorship and outreach opportunities which are offered by the private sector that can hone communication and networking skills. The path may be noncanonical, but industry without a Ph.D can be a rewarding career full of scientific exploration, leadership, cutting-edge innovation, and personal pride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Chemistry and Physics continues its Seminar series.
